If you find yourself about to cry,

Sing this little song,

You’ll soon forget about why you sigh,

And you won’t be sad for long.

SCENE 2

JUMP CUT:

INT. HOUSE. DAY.

The protagonist jumps up from bed, sweaty and frightened from a nightmare. Afterwards he is talking to his friend. He assures his friend that what he is seeing is real. His friend is denying the dream to be real. The protagonist then notices that a clown is watching them talk from a distance in the house.

It’s strange, something about it just seemed so real. I feel like he’s real.

To be completely honest, I think you just need some proper sleep.
